# Vietnam buys more feed wheat despite rising compound feed prices

> Vietnam’s feed wheat imports rose 60% year over year to January–August 2026, accounting for 56% of total wheat imports; Argentina supplied 84% of feed wheat imports. Imports slowed sharply in July and August, and USDA forecasts total wheat imports will fall to 6.3 million tonnes in 2026/27 from an estimated 7.28 million tonnes in 2025/26. Vietnam also imported 960,000 tonnes of DDGS, down 3% year over year.

## Why it matters

Strong feed-wheat buying, particularly from Argentina, supports demand for wheat in the near term, though the lower USDA import forecast points to weaker demand ahead. Slightly lower DDGS imports are a modest negative for DDGS demand.
